Meet the Teacher:
Martha Mabe is a practicing artist and teacher working in Watercolor and Oil. Along with creating her own pieces, she shares her love of art with others through workshops and community programs.
While growing up in South Carolina, she fell in love with painting and drawing, but it took her many years before making it a priority in her life. She has dedicated countless hours honing her skills in her mediums of choice– watercolors and oil.
